"Good news for the master of Gaozhou, Guangdong, Lin Yihaoran, the first place in the high school Wuwu examination, Huiyuan, and the foreman of Jinluan Hall will be honored!" The voices of two newspapermen rang in the lobby of the guild hall, shouting with all their strength.

This sound immediately triggered the people who came to watch, and there was a burst of cheers in front of the door. This humble Chaozhou guild hall actually had a new branch.

Lin Haoran opened his eyes, and suddenly felt that everything in front of him became unreal.

He saw Yang Futian dancing with excitement, saw Zhang Wei pulling him excitedly and talking, saw Ning Jiang running up to him and saying something loudly, and saw a large group of companions gathered around to congratulate him. But.

But there was just a buzzing in his ears, and he couldn't hear anything clearly. His movements seemed to be half a beat slower.

Although he didn't know what they were talking about, he was sure of one thing, that is, he had won, and it was the last torturous piece of good news, and he became the new member of the society.

Sometimes he had to admit that God really liked to play with him and always gave him a big blow at the end. But he would rather let God play with him like that than endure this kind of torture and have to get rid of a heart attack as soon as possible.

.

Gradually, the sound of firecrackers outside the door, the roar of fireworks in the yard, and the congratulations of everyone in the lobby entered my ears one after another, and everything began to return to normal again.

He didn't know when he had stood up, and his soul seemed to have returned to his body. He took the good news delivered to him, spread it out and looked at the line on it, which was definitely his good news: "The first place in the examination, Huiyuan, Jinluan Palace"

Go to the foreman and see him."

Yang Futian asked his servants to help Lin Haoran reward the officials who reported the good news, and also asked people to go outside the door to distribute wedding money to the people who congratulated him, and asked them to sing Lin Haoran's name.

After the official who announced the good news left, Lin Haoran looked at these familiar faces, especially the thirty-eight companions who were also rushing to take the exam, and raised his hands to everyone and said, "Thank you all!"

"I have long said that Huiyuan must be none other than Brother Ruoyu!" Zhang Wei was proud of his foresight.

"Senior brother, if you add one more yuan, you are already Lin Wuyuan!" Chen Qingshu said with a smile.

Everyone was stunned, this is really the case, Zhang Yishan also raised his hands and said: "Senior brother, if you win the first place in the palace examination again, then you will be the first scholar in history to win six consecutive places, then we all have to call Lin Wenkui!"

"I don't dare to think about it anymore! You must also know that I am not as good as Brother Ning in terms of strategy and planning!" Lin Haoran did not have much confidence and shook his head.

The Ming Dynasty selected scholars based on eight-part essays, but the imperial court would select top candidates based on strategy. At this level, the court obviously paid more attention to the practicality of candidates rather than experts in eight-part essays.

Although almost every Hui Yuan can enter the Hanlin Academy, it is very difficult for a Hui Yuan to get the top prize. Because the assessments are completely different contents, just like you are first in physical literature, but you are not the best in online literature.

It might turn into a dog.

Because of this, Lin Haoran did not get carried away by the excitement and positioned himself very rationally. In particular, he clearly understood that Xu Wei was above him in terms of policy making.

"Don't hide your clumsiness. My abilities are not as good as yours. I think you must still be the number one winner. You, Lin Wenkui, can't run away!" Ning Jiang shook his head in disagreement and said extremely optimistically towards him.

Some of them agreed, while others had reservations. After all, there are indeed huge unknowns in the upcoming palace examination, so we should not have too high expectations. There are many people in the Huiyuan who fail to get the top prize.

But despite this, the glory of Huiyuan is enough for Lin Haoran to talk about for a lifetime, and it can also allow Lin Haoran to enter the officialdom as a first- or second-class Jinshi, starting at a higher level than everyone here.

Become famous all over the world!

The moment the candidates for Huiyuan were elected, it was like ripples in the lake, spreading throughout the streets and alleys of this ancient city.

Everyone from the government to the common people knew that there was a scholar named Lin Haoran in Guangdong who passed the imperial examination and became a Huiyuan, and even won five yuan in a row.

Soon after the news spread, several groups of people poured into the alley.

"Who is so wicked, what kind of stage are they setting up here?"

"Keep your voice down, this is the stage for Yan Donghai's celebration!"

"Why should I keep my voice down? Is he still being reasonable? You just said... celebrating the reunion? Haha..."

…

Today's scenery undoubtedly belongs to the Xinke Gongshi, but Yan Donghai, who is ranked third, does not think so. When several ridicules ruthlessly passed into the lobby, he returned to the room of the guild hall and thanked the guests behind closed doors.

.

"Tear it down! Break it down soon!"

The manager of the Jiangxi Guild Hall knew that he did not have high hopes for the stage. The Chaozhou Guild Hall was fine with ordinary Gongsheng residents, but it was Hui Yuanlang who lived there, so the stage had to be demolished.

Four tall carriages stopped in front of the stage. Several members of the public dressed in silk satin looked anxiously at the stage blocking the way, and even asked their servants to help.

"I really want to kill this guy named Dai, so we have to wait there for a long time, but there is not a single tribute!"

"No! I just got the news. Lin Huiyuan was originally going to stay at their place, but he was kicked out!"

"Is this a lie? We raised funds to build that guild hall. Can't someone named Dai do such an unjust thing?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but things are so ridiculous. Otherwise, why are all the new imperial examination candidates in Guangdong living in the Chaozhou Guild Hall together?"

"Hehe... I know better. Lin Huiyuan smashed the sign of the hotel at that time, saying that their surname is Dai and they are not worthy of using this brand!"

"Well done! This guy named Dai is really nothing. He actually dared to occupy the Guangdong Guild Hall we were planning to build. Sooner or later, they named Dai will be punished!"

…

While waiting for the road to be cleared, these Cantonese businessmen doing business in the capital started chatting. When they learned that Dai had kicked Lin Haoran out of the Guangdong Guild Hall, they were extremely angry, and they all expressed their anger at this kind of thing.

Blame the behavior.

They are actually holding back their anger today. Since ancient times, some people in the dynasty are good at doing business and they also need connections in the officialdom. Therefore, every year when the competition comes, they will gather in front of the guild hall and prepare gifts to please the new ministers.

It's just that the Guangdong Guild Hall was so depressed this year that they wasted time there and withheld some of the gifts and property they had prepared for Dai. I thought it was because this generation of scholars was not good enough, but they later learned the truth of the matter.

After learning that there were eleven tributes here, and one of them was Huiyuan, they rushed over to congratulate them. What made them extremely depressed was that they missed the good opportunity to send congratulatory gifts immediately.

This is indeed the case. The threshold of the Teochew Guild Hall has almost been trampled to pieces, and there is an endless stream of people coming to the door.

Lin Haoran and his ten newly-recruited scholars were busy dealing with scholars from the same discipline and businessmen from Guangdong. They also received some invitations and were busy from afternoon to evening.

Although they still have the title of tribute, the palace examination does not eliminate people, so they are already considered to be members of the officialdom. If they still make up their mind to prepare for the palace examination behind closed doors, it is definitely an unwise behavior. Now they need to start running a business in the officialdom.
